Justification of lubrication approximation: an application to fluid/solid interactions

Analysis of PDEs 2015-06-16 v1

Abstract

We consider the stationary Stokes problem in a three-dimensional fluid domain F\mathcal F with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We assume that this fluid domain is the complement of a bounded obstacle B\mathcal B in a bounded or an exterior smooth container Ω\Omega. We compute sharp asymptotics of the solution to the Stokes problem when the distance between the obstacle and the container boundary is small.
